As a very young chid I belived when on a train that there was a very strong man outside at the back of it pushing it along very fast with all his might.
I used to believe that "carpooling" meant you were outside the car and pushing/pulling it to your destination.
I used to think that planes were held up by strings
I used to think that if you misbehaved on a train, the driver would open the doors, tilt the train sideways and make you fall down the gap.

When I was a kid I asked my mom what the city bus was, and she told me, "It's stops and picks you up and takes you downtown." She didn't mention the fact that it was a voluntary thing, that you had to WANT to get on the bus and to pay a fare, so I just got the idea in my head that if I happened to be walking down the street and the bus came up alongside me it would just stop and abduct me, so for a long time I was very wary of the bus.

I thought human trafficking just meant people breaking traffic laws, and didn't get why people were so outraged about it
